      Here is a subtle variation on the Old Paper style I uploaded yesterday in the Request/Styles setting section. If anyone wants this newer version, I'll post it.

      Straight from SketchUp

      This is after increasing "Shadows" in Picasa

          Done! Thank you.

          Here are a couple of others I was playing with.

          A papyrus texture.

          And the same table drawn on slate.

          Styles could be uploaded if there's interest.

              Thank you. I added the Slate style in the Styles section. I'll upload the Papyrus style when I get home from work.

              Here's another one with the Old Paper style. I added some Screen Text using a font called Architect Bold.

              http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/weekender410/LimbertTabletitled3.jpg

              This reminds me a bit of the photographed drawings from the Greene and Greene Virtual Archive. Like this detail of a drawing for a silver tray in the Blacker house.

              http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/weekender410/silvertray.jpg

              I need to find a font closer to the lettering in this image.

                Are you sure its Architect Bold Dave? I like the font you used . . I downloaded Architect Bold to try it but it looks a good bit different to your image above . . . ?

                  I guess I'm reasonably certain that's the name. Maybe I missed something? 😄

                    Hi, I think the fonts you want are some of these:

                    'Greene' & 'Greene Greene' nice but pricy; or G&G not so many frills and available in a package with a Greene Ornament set.

                      This is not exactly it but it has some elements of the font you are looking for.

                          this is the 'Architect Bold' font I found when I googled . . . . which obviously isnt the same. http://www.fontstock.net/9892/Architect-Bold.html I will try your one . . its much nicer! Why do different fonts have the same name? doh! I wonder if I can get TIG's text script to work with it . . . . .

                            Yes, TIG's script works with Architect Bold. I did this for him as the first thing I did with his script.
